Daniel Craig was not from Prescot. We have an abundance of celebrity without looking stupid with such false claims. Get it sorted!

Every time I see this written, it seems to be copy and paste job/fact. I tried to triple reference this fact and couldn’t come up with a plausible answer. That’s my reasoning. Would be great if he did spend sometime in Prescot wouldn’t it.

Andrew: I’ve seen enough variation in the details (ie more than simple copy and paste) to think there are a few sources for the Daniel Craig claim, including info that states he came to Prescot to live with his sister (Lea Craig) after his parents separated. Will let you know if and when his agent gets back to me.

A must to add to your wall of fame, this lovely lad I went to school with and was sorry to hear of his sad end.

Keith Wallace born 1961 in Prescot , started out with BICC Amateur Boxing Club based at the Prescot factory, Represented England at 1980 Moscow Olympics, ABA Champ twice(Flyweight)and later in 1983 as a professional became Commonwealth Champion. Obviously destined for glory. Unfortunately he died of cancer in 1999 age 38

Dont forget billy moores (septic cedric from watching) and david Williams who was in last of the summer wine for a short time and was a stand in for a European tour of les misrebles. He, being a member of equity, meant that another David williams had to change his last name to Walliams!
